Score lower than Daniel so no Jr Worlds.

 

[16Olympics]

I inadvertently missed speaking about Daniel. He was soooooooolid. I so hope he excels in at JW.

 

[elektra blue]

Yarooo!!! i hope nothing weird happens this time

 

[Lamente Ariane]

So how many Elvis programs do we expect next season, given the movie was s hit?

 

[msteach3]

I find the ridiculous commercials played over and over much worse than Johnny and Tara.

 

[labgoat]

Slava Ukraine Yaro!

 

[Ic3Rabbit]

I love Massimo’s music and choreography - this has his prints all over it. Elegant and soulful.

Actually, I believe that Misha Ge did the FS, Massi did the SP.

Johnny and Terry are commenting on Yaroslav's expressions during his skate, how he's so straight faced and deadpan.

Johnny said during his short program something along the lines of how he likes it, and thinks it would be funny to skate to the happiest music he could find, but keep a stern, deadpan expression the whole time.

 

[jgg220]

If Paniot is injured, I apologize for this comment, but there were maybe two seconds of performance and interpretation aside from the step sequence. This is not playing to all of his strengths, even with a lot of clean or almost clean jumps.

 

[elektra blue]

send Yaro somewhere!

Argh, vk link is not loading for me

After last year's withdrawal I'm just really happy Yaro made it through. Love that his big quads are back and I always enjoy his hamminess. Hopefully he can work on his speed and in betweens.

 

[Jeanie19]

Yaro. I love his outfit and this Elvis program. He held it together. He's in the mix.

 

[ana]

That was a great skate by Yaroslav. Almost perfect.

I feel like we’ve definitely seen that before, though not usually as intentional comedy.

 

[EdgeCall]

Nice one! He was rather cautious until the jumps were done, but then Elvis the pelvis had his say.

 

[yelyoh]

And Yaro returns to his form of a couple of years ago. That deserves to take the lead. And it will.

 

[msteach3]

Yay Yaro!! Well done even if he was deadpan through most of it.
